If I remember correctly...that would be a 351 "W" Windsor...made in Canada.

1970 - The 351 engine was used in Mercury Cougars & Montegos as well as the Ford Mustangs and Torinos.

1970 1/2 - The Ford Falcons had an optional 351 engine.
1971 - The 351 was available for use in the Mercury Cougars & Montegos and the Ford Mustangs and Torinos.
1971-1973 - The HO (High Output) Boss 351 engine was used only in Mustangs. Introduced in December 1970 and was available until the model year 1972. The 1972 Mustang Boss 351's also had ram air.

thnks but how can you tell its a 351w and what year it is. i just dont wanna order the wrong intake and carb when i change it over to a 4 bbl

E4AE-6015-FA 10 E = 1980's 4= 1984 I think the AE-6015 Refers to a Ford Part...I don't have my old Ford Serial number look up book any more but the FA-10 Refers to a Galaxy class (but not a 100%)

FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE BLOCK NUMBER IS C2DE 6015 BA, THE FIRST DIGET 'C' MEANS THE YEAR, SIXTY'S
C= 60'S
D=70'S
E=80'S
SECOND DIGET IS THE YEAR, IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE A 1962!
THE 6015 IS A NUMBER THAT FORD USES!
THE OTHER NUMBERS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN, SO SOMEONE HELP ME OUT!!!
THANKS; REGGIE B.
The first digit is the decade, the second is the year, the third is the car line, the fourth tells you what system the part is for. E is an engine part, B is a body part, F is a fuel system part, etc.. with all factory replacement parts having a Z as the fourth digit. 6015 is what's called the group number. This means that it is some kind of an engine block. 9510 is a carb, 9425 is an intake manifold, etc... and the last one or two digits tell you how many times the original design of the part has been changed. The number given as an example is not an actual casting number that Ford used, since they didn't start using double digit design level change designations until the 70s, but, if it were a real number, it would be telling you that this is the first change of the second design of an engine block that was originally designed for use in a 1962 Falcon.

this is the decode guide i found. so for me E4AE-6015-FA 10 is 1984 and the a is for galaxy but that cant b rite there isnt a 84 galaxy is it
